The same letters in the several igures indicate iden` tical parts;l I II My invention-relates to that class of .Sirup or punchpitchers which ismade of Alglass `or earthenware, and

is covered by'a metallicA top; and

My improvement consists in forming a part of thev top or cover from thematerial from which the body of-the pitcher is made, and'alsofin `a moreconvenient l uiode of attaching the hinged cover, a d also iuconstructing the body of the pitcherwith ugs or projections, to whichthe metallic sockets of a handle of metal or other suitable materiallmay be attached;

In the annexed drawingg. V I Ais the body of the pitcher, which may' beconstructed `of any desired form, about one-half of the top of thepitcher being covered by the material of `which I` theI body iscomposed, as shownat a, leaving an openingfon the side adjoining thespout, of aboutV half the I area of the top of the pitcher.

I' The hinged top covers, Ywhen closed, this opening,

Eiavng a projecting lip, which covers, also, the spout.

This-top is attachedto the'band b by hinges b. This band 7 fits over thet0n nortion a of the pitcher,

and is constructed with bent anges'l, which may be slid forward over thellet encircling the top, a.'

The band Iis also constructed with `ears b, attached under the hinges,which, when the band is slid for-V ward until the hinges are over theedge of the curved portion a, may be bent down under the'bevelledjedgeof the top, a, and thus secure the metallic cover in place. Y

In order that handles may be attached of a different material from thatused in constructing the body A of the pitcher, the latter is mouldedwith two projections, C and G', as shown, having ndentations c c, asshownon opposite sides thereof. l

The handle may be made entirely of metal, or it may l jections C C', toreceive the sockets of the handle, a

portion of the cover, a, formed of the same material with the body, anda hinged cover, B, attached thereto, substantially.' as set forth. I I
